To observe the effect of Xuesaitong (XST) soft capsule in treating postpartum hemorrhage.Sixty pregnant women were randomly divided into the treated group (A) and the control group (B), 30 cases in each, they were treated with XST and placebo respectively for 7 days to observe the changes of hemorrhagic conditions.After delivery, the hemoglobin, RBC count, hematocrit and cardiac index were lower at 3rd day than those before delivery in both groups (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), reticulocyte count lowered insignificantly as compared with that before delivery in group A but significantly in control group B; the bleeding time shortened significantly in group A (P < 0.05) but unchanged in group B; significant change of blood viscosity only found in group B (P < 0.05). The amount of bleeding 30 min, 1 hr, 2 hrs and 24 hrs after delivery in group A was all lower than that in group B respectively (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). Involution of uterus in group A at 2nd, 4th and 7th day after delivery was all better than that in group B respectively (P < 0.05).XST has definite effect in decreasing postpartum hemorrhage, it also shows effects in promoting involution of uterus, reducing lochia and accelerating recovery of parturients.
